German prisoners of war in the United States

Members of the German military were interned as prisoners of war in the United States during World War I and World War II. In all, 425,000 German prisoners lived in 700 camps throughout the United States during World War II.
==World War I==
Hostilities ended six months after the United States saw its first action in World War I, and only a relatively small number of German prisoners of war reached the U.S.〔("America in the Great War," ) EyeWitness to History, www.eyewitnesstohistory.com, retrieved March 28, 2011〕 Many prisoners were German sailors caught in port by U.S. forces far away from the European battlefield.〔("Blow Up Corman, Interned Gunboat," ) ''The New York Times'', April 8, 1917. Retrieved March 28, 2011〕 The United States Department of War designated three locations as POW camps during the war: Forts McPherson and Oglethorpe in Georgia and Fort Douglas in Utah.〔Yockelson, Mitchel, ("The War Department: Keeper of Our Nation's Enemy Aliens During World War I," ) Presentation to the Society for Military History Annual Meeting, April 1998. Retrieved March 28, 2011〕 The exact population of German POWs in World War I is difficult to ascertain because they were housed in the same facilities used to detain civilians of German heritage residing in the United States, but there were known to be 406 German POWs at Fort Douglas and 1,373 at Fort McPherson.〔Cunningham, Raymond K., Jr.,("Fort Douglas War Prison Barracks Three Prisoners Of War" ), University of Utah Records Center. Retrieved March 28, 2011〕〔Cunningham, Raymond K., Jr.,("German Prisoners 507 Strong, Join Interned Comrades" ), University of Utah Records Center. Retrieved March 28, 2011〕 The prisoners built furniture and worked on local roads. The few dozen who died while incarcerated as POWs were buried at Ft. Douglas, Utah, the Chattanooga National Cemetery, and Fort Lyon, Colorado.〔Lloyd, R. Scott, ("Wreath-laying honors WWI German prisoners buried at Fort Douglas", ) ''Deseret News'', November 14, 2010. Retrieved March 28, 2011.〕〔Copeland, Susan, ("Foreign Prisoners of War", ) ''The New Georgia Encyclopedia''.
